How to Make A Whole Chicken On The Grill
- Prepare your grill for indirect grilling over medium-low heat (approximately 300-350°F).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients: 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons Spanish smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Place the whole chicken (approximately 3-4 pounds) in a large bowl or baking dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's coated evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.
- Place the marinated chicken on the preheated grill over indirect heat. Cover the grill and cook for approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F in the thickest part of the thigh.
- During the last 15 minutes of cooking, baste the chicken with any remaining marinade for extra flavor and browning.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.
- Carve and serve your delicious Spanish-inspired grilled chicken! Enjoy!
